What I also said was that we have bitmap fonts (Times, Helvetica and even 
New Century Schoolbook) which clearly shouldn't have the foundry attached 
to the family name as many documents refer to those fonts by name.

One (kludge) alternative is to do this only for 'fixed' fonts; are there a 
small set of other bitmap families which are overloaded in this fashion?
